'With irresistible passion Pope Francis denounces a world of abundance where hundreds of millions go hungry and an "industry of destruction" that mercilessly discards as "leftovers" the unemployed, the sick, the terminally ill, the old, and children, both born and unborn. Hope inspires us to cultivate an authentically human ecology that enables every person to enjoy a dignified life. 'The hope with which the Gospel of New Life fills our hearts impels us to be worthy stewards of creation's fruits. Our mission is to transform the "throw away culture" of "uncontrolled consumerism" into one which cherishes our God-given natural environment. This demands honouring the social dimension of that environment too.' -- Cardinal Vincent Nichols
